I have always liked this brand which despite its history and unfortunately too little known I fell last year for this superb ocean star font Vert which is just magnificent no regrets format of the case contents waterproof 200 meters as beautiful in the city as at sea I find it balanced

Bewitching

First of all I wanted to thank Xavier for creating this platform which brought me by pure chance to this micro brand that I found interesting after some research having checked the opinions of several people here I said to myself there could be something nice I went to check its Bell discovery site I liked the self-taught approach and I ordered an m.m01 package received today super packaging the watch is really nice there is potential I liked the malacite dial all and very well finished Swiss Sellita SW200 movement leather strap in shark nubbukvde super well worked if I can make a small criticism but it marks at 1 year too bad the movement is held by a plastic ring which on a sapphire background looking closely this is it could be easily corrected by a steel ring which would allow to have a more accomplished watch but pleasantly surprised no regrets for the price go check it and really not crazy in short I validate 😉

Common gold

After the resurrection of this iconic brand in 2021 thanks to Guillaume Ladet who, thanks to his vision and his marketing, was able to help revive this sublime and emblematic Swiss watch brand Vulcain, I had to buy one, but I absolutely wanted a resolutely modern Vulcain in specifications while having its vintage side, so I went for the Vulcain Lagoon Bleu which has a fine work, a movement that is certainly simple but ultra-robust, a 2824, but what captivated me was the level of finish for such a reasonable price, happy to have added this piece of history to my collection.

History

When yema returned from the ashes following its buyout I became interested again and fell for the 1st and reissue of their superman series and fell for the superman quartz one of the only watches that I own in Quartz by the way because at the beginning their automatic amber movement had had some problems resolved since what is wonderful this watch accompanies me occasionally but I still love it as much

Iconic

I bought this yema superman which is no longer produced for its maxi dial I love everything in this watch its case its dial its movement and the revival of the legendary superman maxi dial from the 80s it still accompanies me in the coves of carry le rouet '' or elsewhere superb watch

Legendary

My Hamilton khaki field GMT watch that I bought about ten years ago has followed me on so many adventures and trips that it is the ultimate watch for the adventurer, waterproof 200 meters GMT. I don't wear it much anymore, but when I take it out again, it brings back a sense of nostalgia, I still love it as much.

She breathes her DNA

I think everyone knows Longine, this mythical Hydro Conquest has been produced for a long time. It is a superb diving watch. I bought it in black in 39mm, there is ceramic, but I wanted to stay in its DNA, so I bought it 2 years ago and it is still a pleasure to wear it from time to time.

She flies over time

Being passionate about diving watches, there was no doubt that I was surprised when I saw that Mr. Jacques Blanch had reissued his JB 200 with the participation of Mat, who knew all its history and had been looking for a JB 200 or 300 for years but had not been able to get it, unfortunately the happy owners did not want to part with it, not to my regret, I had to participate in the Kickstarter, a purchase that had a great sentimental value, and yes it happens.

Legendary Marseille icons

How I discovered the French brand Charlie Paris. By pure chance, having checked a review by a YouTuber, I became very interested in this brand and then I took the first step, I fell for the Concordia automatic blue, a superb watch, I really don't regret my purchase and a really surprising rqp in view of the stats

Its blue dial captivates me

Being passionate about watchmaking and more precisely about miscellaneous after having bought the Charlie Paris Concordia in 2021, it was not my surprise to see the Concordia GMT limited to 50 copies come out at the end of 2023. I fell for it and had to buy it. It is a great achievement for this French brand that I appreciate more and more. It is the Concordia 2.0 that brings to mind the alliance of the elegance of the miscellaneous and the GMT complication. Since my purchase at the end of November 2023, it is often with me, I love it.

This green takes me to the deep forests of the Amazon

My speedmaster mark 2 is just sublime, I fell in love with it from day one, a mythical watch that could have gone to the moon 🌙 but due to lack of time to test it, NASA preferred the speedmaster icon '' despite everything it had all the stats for a special flight and even much more of the requested criteria ''' in short, a captivating watch

She is divine

Jacques Bianchi became a watchmaker in the 1950s. He learned his trade with watchmakers in the PACA region before settling in Marseille.
His workshop grew in importance and brands such as Rolex and Omega entrusted him with repair contracts.
Jacques Bianchi also rubbed shoulders with renowned divers such as Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Captain Albert Falco and members of COMEX. In the early 1980s, he created the JB200 (Jacques Bianchi) with the same case as the reissue offered on Kickstarter in 2021. The one from the 80s had a date and a mechanical movement.
It was above all this fabulous story that pushed me to order a watch that I can't try on!
You may know this, but I prefer to try on the watches I buy.
I love the very crazy shape of the case with its crown on the left, the polished flange allows you to see the indexes reflected in it. The manufacturing quality had amazed me when I received the bindle which had two pearls, a Jacques Bianchi badge to sew, and a carrying pouch.
For 560 euros, I had a beautiful case with an incredible lume worthy of the ZRC. The movement is a NH35 from Seiko with the disadvantages of the Seiko in terms of precision even if this jb200 is quite well adjusted.
It is a watch that I wear whenever I have to do water activities and it is very pleasant to wear.
A reissue faithful to the Jacques Bianchi workshops. I invite you to follow the Jacques Bianchi workshop on Instagram (instagram account @atelier-bianchi)



A brilliant diver

All-terrain watch equipped with a Seiko NH35 movement. 
Purchased during the Kickstarter campaign which took inspiration from the Bianchi workshops based in Marseille. 

Despite the crown being on the left, the watch remains very comfortable on my right wrist. A perfect watch for any diving watch enthusiast. 


JB200

The new generation of Bianchi Marseille watches with the support of MAT Watches.
I was not a fan of the imbroglio with the institutional Bianchi house and the association with MAT. Nevertheless this tide gauge limited to 150 copies for a contained price caught my attention.
The dial is successful, the watch is robust and qualitative. A little imposing in width and thickness for me but real diver characteristics that fit well with a refined and fresh style.

The Tide Gauge in Tool Watch mode

Of course it is not a Bianchi in the literal sense. But the quality/price ratio is good, it retains some of the brand's codes including the crown on the left and the shape of the case with a more fun side thanks to the Octopus. It is a nice tool watch that does the job when diving. I always wear it with great pleasure.

Attractive diver

Superb watch, nice and original, it is good company when you want to go out on the weekend for risky activities for your watches. 

The watch is remarkably solid, you can feel that the screwed crown is well made, no dust could get through! 
For the bezel, ditto, zero play. 
Surely hard to turn underwater without gloves. 

Despite this, a taste of too little concerning the finishes ... no crown signed, generic bracelet without customization. 
Too bad, for 1.5K new, it's a shame. In the same price range, I prefer an Akrone C-02!

POULPRO - a taste of too little..
